This has trained me well for my experience here at Ashford. I really appreciate the diversity of our student body and approach students with that in mind. Knowing where students come from helps me understand how best to instruct them.” Dr. Ketchum enjoys cooking, making arts and crafts, travelling, watching movies and television with a critical eye, and listening to both live and recorded music.
